Tama, Jordan, 2019, "Replication Data for: Forcing the President's Hand: How the U.S. Congress Shapes Foreign Policy Through Sanctions Legislation"", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/KIW6VX, Harvard Dataverse

I used Stata/IC 14.0 to generate the descriptive statistics in the article. (Other versions of Stata should work equally well for this.)

After downloading the data set congressional_sanctions_legislation_1983-2014 from the Dataverse page for the article, the descriptive statistics can be generated by executing the do file posted on the Dataverse page.

The first set of descriptive statistics generated by the do file are those presented in Table 1 in the article.

The second set of descriptive statistics generated by the do file are those presented in the body of the article but not in Table 1.

The results of the do file can also be seen in the log file posted on the Dataverse page.
